It's Not Like I Planned It This Way (2010) - Plot & Excerpts
Very meh. I have a sentimental attachment to Alice since I read her when I was a kid, but in these newer books, Naylor is trying too hard to be PC and "hip"...unfortunately, it comes off as insincere and clueless. It's pretty clear she is pretty roved from kids these days, and there's NO CHANCE my high school (or middle school, for that matter) students would relate to this. This is definitely a "first world problems" kind of book!!! I ran to buy this book but even though it did not live up to all my excitement, it was still worth it. Alice's world is seriously realistic and the problems in it could happen to anyone. The characters have been developed throughly (clearly from being the 16th, 17th and 18th book in the series) and Alice, herself, may have her ups and downs but I have seen worst (in real life and fictional worlds).
